1 Claim.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in corselettes,brassieres and girdles especially adapted for use by women, the presentinvention being an improvement on Patent No. 1,882,252J issued Octoberll, 1932 to Patrick J Moran.

The principal object of the present invention over the above statedpatent is to provide a corselette which will be lighter in weight, yetjust as eiective in use, due to special construction and arrangement offeatures.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a corselettewherein the inner belt'is constructed in such a manner as to lessen thecost of manufacture besides offering a better support and embracement tothe diaphragm of the wearer.

Still another important object of the invention over the patent abovereferred to is to improve the back of the garment in such a manner as toresult in a greater embracement of the wearer at the point where themost support is required.

These and various other important objects and advantages of theinvention will become apparent to the reader of the followingspecification.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 represents a front elevational view.

Figure 2 is a rear elevational view.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view looking at the inside of the frontsection.

Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-'5 of Figure 4.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, itcan be seen that the garment is made up of the back section 5 and thefront section 6. The front section 6 is made up of the upwardly flaringpiece of material 1 having the downwardly diverged leg portions 8 8between which is the elastic gore 9. The front section 6 is furtherconstructed of the panels I0 and II which have portions of their edgeportions cut away from the points a to the points b so as to leave aspace between the panels and the central material piece or panel 'Iwhich is spanned by the elastic inserts I2. These inserts extending fromthe points a to the points b obviously give a pull around the body andagainst the diaphragm ywhich is effective in bracing the diaphragm aswell as the abdomen.

At the inside of the front section 6 is the specially constructed beltgenerally referred to by numeral I3 and this consists of the centralpanel diverged stay containers I5 containing the short stays I6 in theupper portions thereof. Panel members I'I each has one longitudinal edgeportion' secured to a side portion of the front section 6 and thesepanels II are connected by the vertically extending elastic panels I8 tothe central section I4, the section I4 being secured at its upper edgeportion as at I9 to the upper edge portion of the front section 6. Thelower portion of the section I4 is provided with depending tabs 20 fromwhich the hose supporters 2I depend. If desired the upper edge as at I9may be disconnected in relation to the outside or front section 6, orotherwise associated with the front section 6.

Hook and eye or slide type multiple fasteners 22 are provided betweenone side edge of the front section 6 and one side edge of the rearsection 5, these hook and eye or slide type multiple fasteners extendingfrom the point c to the upper edges of the garment section as at d, thelower portions of the garment section at this side being sewed togetheras at e. The remaining side edges of the garment sections 5 and 6 areconnected by the elastic insert 23.

Numeral 24 represents the breast covering or brassiere structure fromwhich extend the shoulder straps 25 to connect to the lace band 26 ofthe rear section 5.

The lace band 2'6 extends across the upper portion of the back section5, the same having its ends secured to the vertical side edges of thesection 5 and being connected at its lower edge to the section 5 byelastic straps 21 and 28.A As shown in Figure 4 the rear portion of thegarment is formed of inner and outer portions which have their sideedges connected to side portions of the rear part of the garment.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specificterms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, sizeand materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit andscope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A form supporting garment comprising a front section and a back section,said front section including a front panel and side panels, portions ofthe side edges of the side panels being connected with portions of theside edges of thev front panel with the remaining portions of said sideedges spaced apart, elastic inserts connecting said spaced edgestogether, a belt forming portion having its side edges fastened to theside cluding a long lower portion and a short upper portion, a centrallyarranged elastic strap member connecting the central portions of theupper and lower parts of said back section together and securing membersconnecting said upper and lower portions of the back section together.
